Chapter 628: Burn It!
Chapter 628: Burn It!
Liu Yao was currently in a daze.
He never thought that the recommendation letter would actually get Qiao Sang accepted into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy.
Initially, he had only tried it out of curiosity...
So even when his teacher, Professor Wang Yanmao, agreed to write the recommendation letter, he didn't specifically call to tell Qiao Sang about it.
This was the most crucial phase of preparing for the National College Entrance Exam, and the recommendation letter might have distracted Qiao Sang.
He figured that if the Imperial Beastmaster Academy really wanted Qiao Sang, they would notify him anyway, so there was no need for an extra phone call.
Besides, mentioning the recommendation letter would make it seem like he was doing Qiao Sang a favor and wanted him to stay in Blue Star.
Most importantly, he was skeptical about whether Qiao Sang would even be accepted into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy.
Despite Qiao Sang's high talent, his lack of comprehensive knowledge was a real issue. Liu Yao still remembered how Qiao Sang had almost eaten the Blazefruit, which was only meant for Fire Pet Beasts...
Qiao Sang suppressed his excitement and said:
"I've been accepted!"
"That's good, that's good..." Liu Yao muttered.
"Vice Principal, thank you for writing the recommendation letter to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known I could attend such a prestigious school", Qiao Sang said sincerely.
"Why wouldn't you be able to attend such a school?" Liu Yao composed himself and smiled. "Didn't you also receive a recommendation letter to Yulinton University?"
"I always thought the recommendation letter just meant the school was interested in me", Qiao Sang said, a bit embarrassed. "And the teacher told me that a recommendation letter doesn't guarantee acceptance."
"Having a recommendation letter is enough to show how excellent you are", Liu Yao said. "Our Dragon Nation has never had a Beastmaster with talent like yours. You should have confidence in yourself."
When you asked if you were accepted, it was clear you didn't fully believe it... Qiao Sang felt both amused and touched.
"Thank you so much. Without that recommendation letter, I wouldn't have been accepted into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
This time, Liu Yao didn't refuse. He smiled and said:
"If you really want to thank me, help me complete the research on how the Flame Listener evolves into a Blazing Star Hound."
Qiao Sang said seriously:
"I will!"
They chatted for a bit more before hanging up.
Qiao Sang put down his mobile phone and suddenly jumped onto the bed, rolling around in excitement.
Accepted!
Really accepted into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy!
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, not sure what his Beastmaster was so happy about, but infected by the mood, started rolling around on the bed too.
As he rolled, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something. He jumped up, went to the desk, and carefully signed his name on the letter he had received from the teacher. Then, he turned to Fangy with a serious expression and said:
"Burn it!"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy nodded, then opened his mouth and spat out a small, crimson flame the size of a fingernail, which accurately landed on the letter.
The flame licked the paper, quickly consuming the entire letter.
...
At the same time.
Blue Star.
Imperial Beastmaster Academy.
In a simply decorated office.
An elderly Caucasian man sat at his desk, pen in hand, writing something.
The room was so quiet that the atmosphere felt almost heavy.
"Yue Yue!"
At that moment, a bird familiar lying on the floor, almost entirely red, opened its eyes and called out.
The elderly man looked up.
In front of him, several lines of flame appeared in the air.
The elderly man's gaze fixed on two words, and he softly read:
"Qiao Sang..."
...
Supernest.
Sai Nan High School.
Dormitory.
Qiao Sang watched the letter burn to ashes with a joyful heart.
The Imperial Beastmaster Academy was truly the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. Even the method of confirming acceptance was so modern. I wonder which familiar skill this is... Qiao Sang thought. He then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a very familiar number.
Soon, the call connected.
Before the person on the other end could speak, Qiao Sang said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, but don't get too excited."
The voice on the other end was quite noisy, as if she was in a crowded place.
"What? What did you say!" her mother asked in a very loud voice.
"I said! I have something to tell you, but don't get too excited!" Qiao Sang raised her voice and repeated herself.
"Wait a moment!" her mother shouted, "Xiao Zhang, you take care of the store for a bit. My daughter is calling me!"
After that, she seemed to walk in a certain direction.
A few seconds later, the noise on the other end disappeared completely.
"Wasn't the Evolution method for Fangflare to become a Flame Listener just announced recently? It's made things very busy at the store lately", Ye Xiangting said with a smile. "What did you want to tell me?"
Qiao Sang pretended to be calm, "Nothing much, just that I got accepted into Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
Ye Xiangting was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "You got accepted into Imperial Beastmaster Academy?"
"That's right", Qiao Sang said proudly, lifting her chin. "I forgot to tell you, I'm in the Junior Year class at Suprenest, so I'm considered a current examinee."
Ye Xiangting said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about something this important until now!"
Qiao Sang: "…"
"I was just trying to surprise you by getting accepted into university first…" Qiao Sang's voice lowered as she tried to smooth things over.
"You're only a Sophomore! How can you suddenly jump to Junior Year and understand the coursework!" Ye Xiangting said, upset. "Which leader allowed you to skip ahead? Why didn't you discuss it with me!"
"Well…" Qiao Sang said helplessly, "I've already been accepted into Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
"Why didn't you say you got accepted into Zhongkong University instead?" Ye Xiangting said coldly.
"I was also preparing to apply to Zhongkong University", Qiao Sang explained. "I passed the Special Recruitment, and only needed to score 325 or above on the College Entrance Exam. I didn't expect two teachers from Imperial Beastmaster Academy to come and interview me today, then tell me I was accepted."
"Imperial Beastmaster Academy is better than Zhongkong University. I definitely want to go there."
After saying that, Qiao Sang remembered how she had made herself seem like a prodigy to make the news seem more believable, so she added, "If you don't believe me, I'll send you a picture of the acceptance letter when it arrives. If you still don't believe me, you can come with me on the first day of school and see if I'm a student there."
Ye Xiangting fell silent.
She knew her daughter's personality—she might joke around, but she wouldn't go to such lengths to make a joke over an interstellar call…
Ye Xiangting hesitated, "You really got accepted into Imperial Beastmaster Academy?"
Qiao Sang, hearing her mother's tone, knew she was starting to believe her, and she smiled, "Why would I lie to you?"
"Send me a picture of the acceptance letter as soon as it arrives", Ye Xiangting said.
"I promise to send it to you right away!" Qiao Sang said firmly.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Xiangting asked.
"No."
"Then I'll hang up. The store is busy right now."
"Okay."
"Wait! Make sure you eat well and dress warmly. If you need money, just let me know."
"Got it!"
"If you don't understand anything in class, get a tutor."
"Mom, I've already been accepted into Imperial Beastmaster Academy…"
"…I'm hanging up."
"Okay."
…
Blue Star.
Yuhua Region.
Hanggang City, Zhehai Province.
Yazai Pet Beast Nursery.
Ye Xiangting put down her mobile phone, her expression dazed. Then, she thought of something and opened her social media feed, starting to type:
"My daughter told me…"
She paused, then deleted the words.
Forget it, it's too unbelievable. I'll wait until I see the acceptance letter…
